Position Overview

Are you an experienced electrical engineer ready to step up from detailed technical design into comprehensive project ownership and client leadership? We are seeking an Electrical Engineer (PE) / Project Manager to spearhead high-impact commercial and educational building projects across Florida. In this pivotal role, you will bridge the gap between technical excellence and client execution-steering complex electrical designs while managing multidisciplinary coordination from concept to commissioning.

Joining our team means stepping into an entrepreneurial, client-first culture built on mentorship, quality, and direct ownership. Here, you aren't just managing projects; you are building long-term relationships, shaping infrastructure standards across the region, and guiding the next generation of engineering talent. Supported by hands-on leadership and an integrated A/E delivery platform, this position offers the ideal launching pad for sustained professional growth and career impact.

Core Responsibilities

• End-to-End Project Stewardship: Manage project life cycles from scope development and budgeting through design execution, QA/QC, utility coordination, and construction administration.
• Integrated Multidisciplinary Leadership: Lead seamless coordination across mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, technology/low-voltage, and commissioning teams, serving as the central technical liaison for architects and project owners.
• Complex Systems Design: Execute and oversee robust electrical system designs for commercial and institutional facilities, with an emphasis on medium-voltage building distribution, interior/exterior lighting, standby/emergency power, surge and lightning protection, and grounding/bonding.
• Technical Quality & Compliance: Review high-fidelity Revit models and construction documentation, ensuring flawless drawing and specification quality while maintaining strict compliance with NEC, NFPA, SREF, and Florida Building Codes.
• Client & Stakeholder Direction: Plan and facilitate key client meetings, manage risk, document action items, and maintain strong relationships with local utilities and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs).
• Construction & Field Support: Lead submittal reviews, respond to RFIs, oversee site observations, and direct punch-list resolution to guarantee design integrity in the field.
• Talent Mentorship: Guide, direct, and mentor junior engineers and designers, fostering technical excellence and operational growth across the engineering team.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE).
• Licensure: Active Florida Professional Engineer (PE) license, or the ability to obtain Florida licensure via comity within 12 months.
• Experience: 8-12 years of electrical design experience within an MEP consulting environment, including direct project management and client-facing responsibilities.
• Software Proficiency: Strong, hands-on command of Revit for electrical modeling and documentation; proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook).
• Technical Mastery: Proven expertise in medium-voltage building power distribution, standby/emergency power systems, interior/exterior lighting design, and surge/lightning protection.
• Regulatory Expertise: Deep understanding of NEC, NFPA, and Florida state/local electrical codes.
• Career History: Demonstrated history of tenure and stability in previous consulting engineering roles.

Preferred Qualifications

• Sector Focus: Strong background in K-12 educational facility design (SREF/FBC exposure); additional experience in higher education, healthcare, aviation, or civic/government facilities.
• Systems Integration: Practical experience coordinating low-voltage and technology systems (security, fire alarm, communications) alongside primary power distribution.
• Leadership Track Record: Proven track record of team leadership, staff development, and junior engineering mentorship.
